Well here is the deal...
Most of you know that I swim, and I guess I could say I am pretty good but I'm looking at going to Junior Nationals next year and I'm thinking to myself that swimming alone isn't going to get me there. For the most part my schedule would be going to school, comming home, going to practice, comming home, doing homework and going to bed. All of my physical training, is from swim practice. I normally eat breakfast (cereal), a lunch purchased at school (for example spicy chicken sandwich, fries, and a dr. pepper can), lunch at home (maybe another bowl of cereal or some chips), dinner (pasta or some meat or soup).
I really think that the physical training for me is good:
6 days a week
4-4:45 - Dryland training (mostly resistance training (ie lunges, iso pushups and some small work with 5 pound dumbells like laterals)
4:45 to 6:30 - 4,000 yard high-intensity workout
1 week out of every 4 weeks we go to the Gold's Gym and participate in whats called Ultra Fit.
Thats a pretty good site on what exactly is done at Ultra Fit. My first week of this Ultra Fit program is this comming week.
So my main concern is the dieting/nutrional side of this workout. I've been trying to keep track of what I have been eating and I'm starting to cut out soda completly from my diet. Im also drinking lots and lost of water.
I've been wondering if I should take some supplements like amino acids, creatine, whey protein, or any of that stuff. I dunno too much on this type of stuff so if any of you guys could help me out I'd really appreciate it.
suggestions or comments?
